The 22nd Anniversary of the Birth of Crown Prince Moulay Hassan: A Moment of Loyalty and Renewal of the Bond Between the People and the Throne
Tomorrow, Thursday, marks the 22nd anniversary of the birth of Crown Prince Moulay Hassan, a national occasion celebrated by Moroccans each year as a symbolic moment that embodies the deep connection between the Moroccan people and the monarchy.
On this day in 2003, joy filled the kingdom following the announcement of the Crown Prince’s birth at the royal palace in Rabat. King Mohammed VI chose the name “Moulay Hassan” for his son in honor of a rich history that connects Sultan Moulay Hassan I and the late King Hassan II, symbolizing their significance in the path of modern Moroccan statehood.
Since then, the anniversary has transformed into an annual celebration where Moroccans commemorate the birth of a symbol of continuity and express national unity under a leadership that guarantees stability amid rapidly changing regional and international challenges.
This popular celebration is not isolated; it reflects the broader context of the historical relationship that has always existed between the Alaouite throne and the Moroccan people. This relationship transcends institutional boundaries, fostering a shared national sentiment based on loyalty, belonging, and the defense of core values.
Moreover, this anniversary showcases the commitment of Moroccans from all walks of life to accompany the royal path and renew their attachment to the values established by the Alaouite kings over three centuries, primarily the protection of national unity, ensuring security, and defending sovereignty.
The celebration of the Crown Prince’s birthday is not solely a personal or ceremonial affair; it symbolizes a unity rooted in historical legacy and a vision for a future where Moroccans aspire to continue the path of development and stability under the banner of the kingdom’s motto: God, Nation, King.
